I love the Homestead Steak House in Timberlake, (Roxboro) NC. Good downhome atmosphere, great salad bar and service is fantastic. Always meet up with people there we haven't seen in awhile. Great place! 5Forks*

I think that Tripps, YES Tripps has better steak than both the Angus Barn and Ruths Chris. Don't believe me? Give it a try. Even if you think the others are better, I would guess you won't be disappointed.

The plus side? You can save yourself about 70 bucks

Tidbit, try Michael's Seafood in Carolina Beach Road, just over the SnowsCut Bridge. Nothing fried! Kure Beach visitor

Royal India Taste of Thai Bali Hai

Cloos' Coney Island in Mission Valley, Raleigh Sushi Thai in Cary Havana Grill in downtown Cary

Chain places don't really do much for me. Too bland, even Ruth's Chris.

A Taste of Thai on Falls of Neuse Rd. in Raleigh.

Kanki at CV mall in Raleigh.

Cleopatra - Sushi- Thai in Cary on Kilmayne Dr - excellent - Sushi and Thai and Japanese choices. The family who runs Sushi- Thai - always provide the tops in service and food quality!

New place (to me) Peak City Grill in downtoan Apex-somewhat unique entree and appetizer and desert chocies-but so far - excellent flavors. Unfortunately, have to put up with piano player - small space - makes it hard to hear each other. But the food is worth it. Small so make reservations on the weekend.

TK Tripp's in Ridgewood in Raleigh - oldie but goodie - always consistently good and reasonable. Their Greens n Grille salad is tops.

Agree with many - Angus Barn, Ruth's Chris (in Cary), and Sullivan's - and surprisingly - Bonefish Grill in Cary - have the best filet mignon steaks anywhere.

Angus Barn has so many other choices, which are all delicious = consisetnely the overall best restaurant locally. (Which is why it is ALWAYS crowded, despite the prices!)

I agree with whiskey Casalinga is my favorite

We have our Christmas party from work at Jimmy V's in Mcgreagor Park and they have the thickest, juiciest, biggest, BEST-tasting ribeyes on the planet earth! Oh what a treat it is for the holidays to go in there and pig out. And their baked potatos are just as good. Unlike any other baked potato I've ever eaten anywhere.

How many more weeks till Christmas? I'm hungry.

Lots of folks have mentioned Angus Barn for steak.. Never been there and believe me I love me some COW..

I go to The Peddler..been in Oak Park Shopping center since 1972 :) Great Filet and PRIME RIB and wonderful chicken breast too!! Bartender is pretty great with a dirty martini as well. (I have heard not as pricy as Angus barn, either but haven't independently verified.)

Don't want steak? Casa Carbone is just around the corner. NUM!
